Abstract
On PON XVIII/2012 Riau, achievements earned by West Java table tennis athletes were not the best. Those athletes only earned 1 silver medal and 1 bronze medal. One of several factors influencing these athletes achievement is physical condition of the athlete.Underwhelming achievements may be caused by discrepancy of athletes physical condition with Central KONI standards.
